November 2007 - After 5 years being a "dormant" project, there is movement!  Updates will be posted here in the next few weeks.

 

Here is an opportunity to own a beautiful, well made, all bronze signal cannon.  It is modeled after the famous, "Remember the Maine" salute cannon manufactured around the turn of the century.

Original,
"Remember the Maine"
cannon
The barrel tilts down, releasing the breech for shell insertion

The original cannon fired using 12 gauge blank shells.  It's barrel was made from cast iron.  The wheels and carriage were made from aluminum. 

Cannon-Mania's model will have a barrel made in all bronze, and fires the larger, 10 gauge blank shell.  The cannon is lanyard fired. The trails will have "Cannon-Mania" in relief. Pictures are forthcoming.  They will be priced under $ 500, with a low introductory price.

Each mayl have a unique serial number stamped on the barrel.
